Down. - Solomon Billinkoff

i can't play you this song until the end of the summer
but the summer is long, so you better lend me a drummer
from your ear, so by the time the end comes near
how much of a bummer this summer was becomes suddenly clear
to you.

well when i woke up, i remembered that we broke up
maybe what i wrote up--that first verse--september-cursed us, lady.
and i'm sorry if what i did was a hue too shady,
though you'd lose it, know the music is just for you, baby.

well, girl, i haven't talked to you in many long days.
i haven't gotten through this painingful phase.
this funk, it gets me fucked up in a very bad way,
'til my puke is shootin' out of nearly everyone's drains.

you know 'cause i could make an ocean with my vomit
though it is emotional vomit
don't get the notion that i could fill a real ocean with it
calm it down, first i throw up, then the low down
on the dl: hell, i'm just solo when you're not around.

i get so down
when you're not around
i get so down

i think i left one of my tears on your shoulder,
and now i fear that it's over
but would you jeer if i toldja
that i miss you,
that i'd do anything to kiss you?
got to admit it's an issue
please just hand me a tissue
from your purse, have you not heard
that my heart's split at the sinews?
that blood spills when i'm not with you?
gotta patch this up, 'cause dracula's
in need of a fix; dude is jonesin' 'cause
i'm up alone with him through from six to six in the morning...

...and...

vampires, they find it hard to resist you.
when your heart consistently just splits and rips at its sinews.
gotta think all this shitpoo through, work out the kinks and just get through to you?
oh darling, wondering if you miss me too?

i get so down
when you're not around
i get so down

i've basically run dry of things to say to you.
it's taken me a time to get used to being away from you
but now i get it.
i've gotten less upset, but
i'm needing to confess
this love song
needs to be much longer
than it is
where it is in its present status.
i do truly hate that
i started artistic masturbating
and made a baby
and i'm too attached
to lose grasp
of this personal creation
so i'll remain true through to the last--as with the first--of its pages.

though it hurts me to say that i be lonely,
can you hold me through the worst of my days?
you were the perfect escape, you were the girl i could take
but you're like april and may, see girl, i worry that you ain't gonna stay

i get so down
when you're not around
i get so down

i get so down
when you're not around
i get so down
